Yeah shape looks perfect. Haven't set her up yet. My current still has 1-2 sessions in her.
So you have risers on your current AF1 55s?
Super thin rubber about 1 mm is all and it works well on the AF1 55s.
My truck experience has been based on what I can get away with, more so than what I think I might need to lift, so coming from Indy standard trucks, no risers (just a sticker on the deck under the baseplate) to trying the same with the other brands, then finding Thunder needed a couple of mm in extra height, Venture was almost there but 1 mm was good, then Ace being about the same 1 mm as well. I could have just gone for the 1/8" riser of whatever brand, but I felt that lifted things a little too much for what I wanted, so went the DIY approach instead.
I tend to cut up rubber material or use these thin reasonably hard rubber risers I bought a ton of back when I could get them, as I used them under Indy Stage 9 trucks and others, back in the day. Overall any trucks end up being just under Indy Stage 11 standard height (55 mm) which works perfectly for me, on any board with up to 58 mm wheels, then the least possible after that.
More so now, some people cut up bike tubes, or get some rubber sheet offcuts and cut them up easily enough, as there are not really the super thin risers on the market any more, or if they are around, they are rather hard to get. I don't think much of the ultra thin foam type ones as they flatten out to nothing anyway.
I would say try whatever you have first, even go no risers and see, then if needed cut up a bit of cardboard and use that just to see how much height you need, or if you have risers, try them, otherwise a bike tube is very easy to cut up and punch or cut deck bolt holes or slits in to use under the trucks and that is all you might need.
